(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)
NEW YORK, October 5,
Following the sinking of the tanker I. C. White the U.S. Maritime Commission announces that 20 out of 125 merchantmen which are supplying Britain have been armed, and that guns will be mounted on the remainder shortly.
Simultaneously the Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, warned the Nazis that henceforth the United States will regard the right of selfdefence as transcending international law.
The I: C. White, a tanker, was an American-owned ship registered in Panama. She was to be transferred to British registry shortly.
